Class Notes:

Dottie Maynard Dummett
Dottie Maynard Dummett is now happily settled in her new, permanent home in Lacey, WA in the lovely retirement community to which she moved over a year ago.  The wait for a house on the lake to become available and then be refurbished was worth it and she enjoyed her first sail on the lake the last day of April.  Her email address remains the same.

Allan Lohaus
Allan and Martha Lohaus volunteered at the Mennonite Disaster Services (MDS) project in Louisiana in March, rebuilding in Port Sulphur, south of New Orleans. Any classmates interested in joining Allan and Martha on an MDS project in 2009 should contact him: Email Allan Lohaus. This could be a worthwhile and fun mini-reunion, so give it some thought.

Susan Hopps Nathiel
Susan (Hopps) Nathiel has just published a book called Daughters of Madness: Growing Up and Older with a Mentally Ill Mother based on her own experiences and her interviews with 25 other women with similar backgrounds. She's a psychotherapist in private practice and lives in Middlefield, CT with her partner, Jeanette Gross, a professional musician and psychiatric nurse. They live in a 200 year old house with their dogs and cats. Susan is still a political junkie and would love to hear from her old friends in EPIC (Earlham Political Issues Committee - remember?). She's not ready to retire yet, and is thinking about writing more on the topic of mental illness in the family.

Tom Smith
Tom and Judy Smith, who were sorry to have to close the Portland (OR) Friends School at the end of the 2006 school year, have moved to Granville, Ohio where son Geoff '90 and wife Jessica Rettig '91 are biology professors at Denison University. They have two grandchildren there also, but had to leave daughter Emily '94, son-in-law Bill Asch '93 and their two grandchildren behind in the Portland area. They'd be happy to hear from classmates in their new "neighborhood." Email Tom Smith
